Default It's Alive!

After a week of toiling (not really, I really only worked on it about 5 hours a day) my car is up and running. In the morning I'll do a test drive and post the results. Untill then here are a few more pics for you guys.



It's a little bit bigger...


New 550cc injectors


3" inlet pipe

I have been driving it. The CEL for the secondary air pump finally came on yesterday.

It pulls hard around 3200 rpm. Normal street driving got a whole lot more fun. Driving on the freeway, as soon as it hits 4000 rpm, it just wants to go. I was barely using my lead foot and easily passed. Haven't really been paying too much attention to anything else while driving. It's just so much more fun.

I did notice I was getting around 26 mpg on the freeway when I wasn't hammering the gas.

Still need to install my high flow cat and clutch.

So did you get everything at once? That's awesome man. I think you should elaborate on any major problems you run into to help out others in the future. Anyway, congrats on that...total respect for all that work.

sounds good the only thing we wait to see is if it will stay reliable.
